RE: situation here

Donna: Could you just store it over the winter in a cold but not
freezing place like a garage or 3 season room? I would think that as
long as the root ball stays intact and you can periodically give it a
little moisture, this would be your best option...I know this is what
local nurseries do with their trees in containers or B&B here for the
winter...If I were you, just to be sure, call a local nursery and ask
them how to store a tree over the winter in your area. Good luck!

Subject: [CHAT] situation here
I have a bit of a situation here, and without going into
massive<br>detail.... thought maybe this chat group could
help...<br><br>Tomorrow DH is bring yet another tree home... He
describes it as ... the<br>one you wanted... DUH!, I want/like many
trees, but sounds like it is in<br>the birch family. (don't bother to
ask the correct name or size- he<br>doesn't know)<br><br>The problem is
tonight is our first frost, but I am sure it will not be<br>a hard
freeze. It is supposed to warm up after this, but at this time of<br>the
year, who knows what next week will bring....<br><br>Thoughts about what
extra something I should do since this is being<br>planted too late in
my opinion? <br><br>Donna<br>Zone 5, IL<br>Who hopefully didn't send any
D56 messages here- cause I sent this one<br>to them the first time:(
